Surveillance footage from a Columbus nightclub appears to clear Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde of an alleged assault, a source familiar with the investigation told Yahoo! Sports. Charges are not expected to be filed against Hyde after video from Sugar Bar 2 shows he didn't appear to make contact with an alleged victim who claimed to have been assaulted early

Saturday morning, a source who spoke to Yahoo! Sports on the condition of anonymity said. The source said video shows Hyde speaking in the direction of the alleged victim just prior to her punching him in the head. The video then shows Hyde leaving the area and reaching back in the woman's direction in a non-confrontational manner, the source said. From the video, it doesn't appear Hyde ever made contact with the woman – either before or after she struck him, the source said.

The Columbus Police Department declined comment on the continuing investigation. A call to a proprietor of Sugar Bar 2 was not returned. The alleged victim filed a police report Saturday, claiming she had been assaulted by an unknown man she believed she could identify by sight. Hyde was not named in the report or arrested, but was later named a "person of interest" as police investigated.

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer suspended Hyde indefinitely on Monday, pending the outcome of the investigation. Meyer has also been dealing with the issues of All-Big Ten cornerback Bradley Roby, who was arrested on Sunday after allegedly refusing to leave a bar in Bloomington, Indiana. "I have a clear set of core values in place that members of this football program are constantly reminded of and are expected to honor," Meyer said Monday in a statement released by Ohio State. "There are also expectations with regard to behavior. I expect our players to conduct themselves responsibly and appropriately and they will be held accountable for their actions."

CHICAGO -- Michigan offensive tackle Taylor Lewan caused a stir this past spring when he announced that he and some Wolverines teammates had bought a pig and named it Dr. Hamlet III. The blogosphere, naturally, went nuts over this revelation.

Quote:

"A living animal can't be confined to a small space like that," he said. "So we decided that the best thing for the pig was to give it away, and now he's a happy pig. We sent it to a farm where it could do pig things."

I can see suspending a guy for assaulting an officer, but it was done trying to avoid an unlawful arrest? I don't know, if that's true I would be pissed if I was suspended. I mean, it sounds like there's some other **** going on with this guy and you shouldn't really ever assault an officer, but if it was them trying to arrest him for no reason and he like pushed the cop off, that gets a "come on man..." from me.

Randy Edsall's discipline is as random and capricious as Bud Selig's in MLB. In Massachusetts, what he did is covered by self defense laws. In other states it isn't, heck if I know the exact law in Maryland. Either way I think Brown was just a tool to land Stefon Diggs.

The Big Ten will allow its member schools to show unlimited replays on stadium video boards beginning this season as part of an effort to upgrade the game-day experience.

Big Ten schools previously had limited in-stadium replay opportunities and typically didn't show controversial calls by officials. They also couldn't show replays at less than 75 percent of real-time speed. The new policy, approved by the Big Ten's football game-day experience subcommittee, places no restrictions on replays or the speed at which they're shown on the video boards.
